Chapter 23: Who Fights (3)
"Report to the king, Dr. Jin Shangjin asks to see-" The guard's voice was transmitted to the inner palace layer by layer.
King Qingxiang, who was having dinner with Ah Cai, put down his chopsticks and said impatiently: "This Jin Lao'er, the lonely king is eating, what is he messing with?" It is rumored that the lonely king is busy and is gone. β
Zhuang Ji persuaded: "King, maybe Dr. Jin has something important to report, it's better for you to see it, and it is time for Zai Xia and Xiaomei to retire." β
"What? We just picked up the rice bowl, so many delicacies and delicacies haven't moved, and you are going to retire? If it is known, don't say that the lonely king is stingy, get some dishes, and don't let you taste a bite? Leave him alone. Come, all come and eat, and then talk when you are full. King Qingxiang picked up his chopsticks, picked up a red carp and put it on the small dish in front of Ah Cai, and said, "You eat this." Colorful koi, eat many children and many blessings, good miles. β
When Ah Cai heard this, her face was flushed with shame, and she just lowered her head to eat, ignoring the koi.
Princess Jingyin saw what Brother Wang meant, so she encouraged: "Ah Cai, you eat, this koi, but Brother Wang's gift to you." If you don't eat it, Brother Wang has an opinion. β
Zhuang Ji also persuaded Ah Cai: "The king is kind, you can eat it." After eating this colorful koi, it is thanks to the blessing of the king, and everything is smooth. β
"Well, General Zhuang is right, even if you don't do anything, it will be fine." Princess Jingyin further explained.
Before eating, Ah Cai smiled at King Qingxiang and said, "Thank you, the king, for the fish." β
King Qingxiang was on the rise, staring at Ah Cai's coquettish eyes in a daze and blurted out: "How can you thank you?" β
Zhuang Ji urged: "Eat quickly, eat without talking, this is the old rule." β
The king said tolerantly: "It's okay, Ah Cai said while eating, the lonely king likes it." β
Ah Cai blushed and whispered: "It is not an exaggeration to say how to thank the king, Ah Cai is only a small people's girl, only thank the king with his heart, the koi given by the king is extremely precious, and the people's girl is transferred to Brother Ji to eat, in order to help him conquer the west smoothly and recover the lost land." β
The king was embarrassed: "Well, it's ......"
"Doctor Jin reports to the king." The guard spoke loudly again.
King Qingxiang was watching Ah Cai eat infatuatedly, and although the colorful koi he was carrying was transferred to Zhuang Ji, he thought to himself that Ah Cai's slightly open and slightly moving little mouth was just like the colorful koi when they smacked the water in the water, how gentle and kind. Suddenly, he heard the voice of the guards, pointed at Princess Jingyin and ordered impatiently: "Little sister, you go out and tell them, during the lunch break, you are not allowed to disturb the lonely king again, otherwise, speak with the king's sword." β
Princess Jingyin saw that Brother Wang was unrelenting since she saw Ah Cai, especially when she showed her complexion in front of Zhuang Ji, so that her face was lost and there was nowhere to go, so she deliberately made trouble and said: "Forget it, forget it, Brother Wang, you have to focus on state affairs, you can eat often, and Dr. Jin doesn't often have major events." You still have to deal with big things, here, this princess will accompany you. β
"Yes, the princess is right, the king should put state affairs first." Zhuang Ji also persuaded.
King Qingxiang threw down his chopsticks, his eyes widened and he said, "Why, it was not easy for King Gu to accompany the general who was about to go to Western Chu to have a meal, but he didn't take state affairs seriously?" Especially Ah Cai, who came to Yingdu for the first time in eight lifetimes, she is the wife and sister of General Zhuang Ji, is it wrong for the lonely king to invite her to a meal? β
"Jin Shang reports to the king." Another sound came again, but as soon as he heard it, it seemed to be right in front of him, at the root of his ears, and haunted the king's mind.
King Qingxiang instinctively pulled out the king's sword and said to the door of the restaurant: "Whoever comes, the lonely king will not spare him." β
"Who does the king not forgive?" Jin Shang appeared at the door of the restaurant like a god.
King Qingxiang stabbed forward with his sword in his hand and said, "Jin Shang'er, you are too willful, if you take another step, the lonely king will kill you." β
Princess Jingyin saw that the situation was serious, stood up and pulled King Qingxiang's sword-holding arm and said, "Brother Wang is joking, the person who came is Dr. Jin, how can you treat him like this?" β
"The lonely king said that when eating, others are not allowed to harass him." King Qingxiang said one by one, "Jin Shang Lao'er joked with the decree of the lonely king, the lonely king saw that he was tired of being alive, and deliberately rushed against the lonely king. As he spoke, King Qingxiang's arm swung and shook off the princess's hand, and she shook her body and staggered as if she was about to fall to the ground.
Zhuang Ji hurriedly rushed up and hugged Princess Jingyin.
Princess Jingyin was in front of Ah Cai, unexpectedly hugging Zhuang Ji's neck with both hands, panting squeamishly.
Zhuang Ji hurriedly straightened her, broke her little hands, returned to the banquet table, and sat down next to Ah Cai.
When King Qingxiang's sword pointed at Jin Shang, Jin Shang did not show the slightest timidity. He clamped the blade of the sword between his fingers and said indifferently: "The king has a powerful sword, he is really in the prime of life, and the blade can break his hair." If it weren't for the old minister's love of swords, he would have swallowed the sword blade and corpse Chen Restaurant now, hahaha...... Hahaha......" As he spoke, the two fingers of the sword blade flicked up, and King Xiang took a few steps back.
Zhuang Ji was afraid that the scene would get out of control, so he hurriedly supported King Qingxiang and said to Jin Shang: "Doctor Jin is joking, how can you treat the king like this?" β
King Qingxiang stood in the dining room panting, glaring angrily at Jin Shang.
Jin Shang saw that King Qingxiang was really annoyed, and said calmly: "The king is angry, he should be; Sword to kill the old minister, too. But the old minister was in a hurry, so he asked to see the king three times and twice. It is not too late to ask the king to listen to the report of the old minister. β
As soon as Zhuang Ji heard Jin Shang's words, he knew that he was not suitable to stay any longer, and took the initiative to ask the king: "Since Dr. Jin has something important to report to the king, Ji and Xiaomei will leave and ask the king for permission." β
"Yes, the king has something, and the little woman has also taken her leave." Ah Cai stood up and said.
King Qingxiang suddenly pointed at Jin Shang and said, "Get out, get out, get out, get far away." The Lone King doesn't want to see you again. β
Jin Shang's body began to tremble, and he was really afraid of the face-changing king in front of him. His legs trembled, his feet slowly retreated, and he said in his mouth: "The king is angry, angry, and the old minister will retreat...... Withdraw...... Go out...... Go ......" His hind buttocks touched the door frame, and he stopped again, "However, the old minister has thought about it, even if he dies under the king's sword now, this important information must be reported to the king first." β
Princess Jingyin looked at Jin Shang's bear appearance today, as if she had something important to report, but somehow, Brother Wang didn't give any affection, and she didn't want to listen to him, this is the rhythm of killing Jin Shang. She had no choice but to reconcile and say, "If Doctor Jin really has something important, can you inform this princess first?" Then, the princess told the royal brother again. If it is inconvenient, Princess Ben and General Zhuang and others can avoid it. After saying that, he wanted Zhuang Ji and Ah Cai to quit.
King Qingxiang suppressed his anger and said, "Don't say any more, let Jin Shang'er go." β
"No, my lord, it can't be like this." Jin Shang suddenly cried and knelt down and said, "Yingdu is in danger, the king doesn't listen to the old minister, and the old minister can only be worthy of the king's grace if he dies." As he spoke, he stood up and threw himself in front of the king of Qingxiang, and was about to snatch the king's sword.
King Qingxiang couldn't help but take a step back, and ordered Zhuang Ji: "This Jin Lao'er is really crazy, talking nonsense to the sky, Zhuang Aiqing, you help King Gu take him." β
In fact, Zhuang Ji had already held Jin Shang's arm with his hand, making him unable to move.
Jin Shang didn't grab the king's sword, and scolded Zhuang Ji angrily: "You traitor, now you are using a beauty to lure the king, but outside the city, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, in a vain attempt to surround the palace in one fell swoop, take the king, and claim the throne yourself." When Jin Shang said this, he turned to King Qingxiang and said excitedly, "O king, you don't know that at this moment, the person closest to you is your worst enemy. If the king did not believe the advice of the old minister, he could go to the east gate to see in person that tens of thousands of Dongdi soldiers had quietly entered the city, and at this time, they were making full preparations for the evening action. β
When King Qingxiang heard this, his whole body softened, and Wang Jian fell to the ground with a "dang long".
Princess Jingyin said expressionlessly: "What Dr. Jin said is true? Come to think of it, if you lie about the military situation and scare the king, you know what the consequences are. β
"Haha...... Fortunately, the old minister was far-sighted and fooled your two sons to Yingdu. Now, they are all in the hands of the old minister, if you dare to kill the old minister, you will be called the dealer to cut off the children and grandchildren. Jin Shang told Zhuang Ji triumphantly, and then tried his best to break free from Zhuang Ji's strong and powerful hand, stretched his neck and shouted: "King, quickly arrest Zhuang Ji, if he is allowed to run out of the city, the palace will be in dangerββ"
Zhuang Ji said with a disdainful face: "You don't have to ask the king to catch it." To confirm your information, you can stay in the palace as a hostage. If it is indeed as Dr. Jin said, you don't need the king to do it, you can apologize for your sins in front of the king, and die without regrets. β
When Ah Cai heard this, he said with a panicked expression: "Brother Zhuang, you ...... It's best not to say anything about him, whether it's true or not, the king can tell by himself. β
What will the real result be?
